- G'day, you mob! Today, I chop up my largest Monstera deliciosa 'Albo' Borsigiana plants and turn it from 1 plant into 7. The method of Albo propagation that I show you is the easiest way I've found to successfully propagate Monstera Albos every time. It allows you to have all your cuttings rooted via air-layering before you propagate your plant, so when you pot them up, you can hit the ground running!
If you have trouble propagating your variegated Monsteras, hopefully this video helps! And if you have any tips or tricks for how to propagate Monstera deliciosa variegata in general, leave them in a comment below!

G'day, guys! Hope you enjoyed the video! Tell me what you're propagating at the moment below! Also, one minor correction (which I can't believe I didn't catch whilst editing), when I say "apical bud", I mean "axiliary bud". The apical bud is the top of any growth point on your plant, whereas the axiliary buds are the points at which growth can come out (activate) along the sides of the stem.
I didn't catch that. Lol
"I didnt realize it had gone in so much, I thought it was just gonna be the tip". If I had a nickel..... lol
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
The plastic bag is such a good idea. I have not had much success with moss. Fluval has been good so I mixed some Fluval stratum and Tree fern fiber to see how it goes. I rotted a monstera I cut to propagate. Nice vid!
You are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing it with us. Absolutely lovely!
You're too kind, mate! :)
I so love this video.
I love your videos! I learn the most from your chats while you work with your plants! Could you explain how you cut and cut plants and don’t end up with mother plants that the left over nodes aren’t spent and will continue to put out growth. How do you keep tract and keep them going?
That was fascinating to watch, thank you. Could you do a video on how to package and ship cuttings/plants? Its my biggest holdback on selling because im afraid of the mail system lol
Wow so beautiful 😍
:D
Beautiful! Good luck, maybe some day I can afford an albo!
Thanks, mate and hope you get one soon!
Good morning Pete!
Morning, mate!
Let it keep growing !!!😮
That was fun to watch. Really relaxing. I dozed off for a few😅
Haha not sure if that's good or bad :D
@@petevsplants7516 no worries. I rewatched the video
🐸🧦
Nice video Pete!
50 Monstera sounds intimidating, but also glorious...
Especially if they all had variegation like the more compact plant you've shown.
Currently I'm only propagating a couple Syngonium... and I've found a recently sprouted pumpkin seed that I'd nearly forgotten about.🤣
Yeah, it's quite the challenge but hoping it pays off haha.
Oh cool! Which Syngonium? I just got a red arrow (?) from Bunnings. The dark one with red backs. Love them :D
@@petevsplants7516 🤞🤞Here's hoping!!
Coincidentally, I am propagating S. erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'... when I got mine it had a longer vine that had dried up/died in the middle with a tiny leaf + node at the end, so I've chucked that bit into one of my aquariums. Also, propagating a "Red Heart" which is actually pink, and looks a lot like 'Neon'.
Nice long root!
:D
Watching
I think the difference between those two albo's is, the first one is Borsigiana and the second one is Delisiosa, loking at the nodes.
From what I understand the new growth point will always be on the opposite side of the aerial root so if you check all the node you can find one with white and cut there and it will go back to being as variegated if that makes sense, that’s exactly what I had to do with my albo bc it had only slightly variegated but a great main stem which was confusing me until I did research. The other thing I learned is you can melt down bees wax and cover your new cuts then there is zero chance of rot. Just curious have you ever air layered using soil?
Do you add anything to the water/moss to prevent mold or other fungal growth?
I get how your wouldn't want to chop your pride and joy...the short internodal albo...its GORGEOUS, DONT DO IT. HAHA
Hehe it is, but it'll grow back haha
OMGosh, $1000?!! Heck that's expensive! I'm in NZ and not meaning to be rude but I bought mine , a Thai constellation and an albo for $185 and $125 respectively about 6 months ago with three leaves each. I thought I was paying abit much to be honest. My albo has got eight leaves and is about the same size as yours and my tc has 6 leaves and not quite as big. I use the weakly, weekly fertilizer method all year long for all my plants. Genuinely not meaning to be rude, just so curious to know why they cost so much. Thanks for the lesson on propping, much much appreciated. 😊
The one you really love has halfmoon genes, it is stunning 😍. I would not cut that one.
Hehe yeah... Guess we'll see how it goes :P Need to get to 50 though haha
I think your videos are great! What kind of moss are you using and do you reuse the moss? 😊
Thanks a lot, mate. I use sphagnum moss. I do reuse it unless it's had rotting roots in it.
Does the leaf from the main plant eventually die off?
Great video as always mate! :) Have you noticed a difference when using charcoal on the cuts? I've been thinking of trying it since I didn't really like using cinnamon
Haven't noticed any difference as it's the only way I've really done it. Never used cinnamon :) Give it a try.
Sean from only plants swears by it.
Is there an update video? Thank you for the info,great video!
Hey mate, all survived except one which I show in a more recent video. I've sold most of them unfortunately.
I work at a famous green house part time and was sent home with a few cuttings of this and I’m like WHAT DO I DO?! I’m blessed to be able to have perks of getting these types of plants but I have always bought rooted and ready to go. This propagation stuff is stressful. I have them in a jar of water for now. I’m wondering if I should go the LECA or Fluval Stratum route. Hmmm.
Lovely monsteras. On your favorite monstera, what plastic are you using? I'm thinking of doing that than a moss pole. Thank you. Great vid!
Do you mean for propagating it/air layering it? It's just zip lock bags from the local supermarket :D
@@petevsplants7516 I meant the potted second Monstera on the beginning of the vid.

Oi já me escrevi no seu canal
Esse pó preto que você passa nos cirtes é carvão muido ?
Cool video. Where do you keep all your propagations???
Hey mate, all over the place haha. I've got some shelving units that I use and they're kind of spread out all over the shop.
good day may i ask if you use fertilizer for your albo and if you do what fertilizer do you use. thank you. because only fertilizer i know is osmocote 14-14-14 and im not sure if it is good for varigated plants... thank you again
Hey mate, I use the Professor's Original hydro A+B solution.
Hi i just watch youre video i love monstera albo but i dont have money to buy because im poor but my hobbies are plants i really love planting im wishing to have one
I have some for sale too!
Do you put drain holes in the pots you used?
Hey mate, unless I'm doing passive hydro or propping in moss, then yeah, they'll always have drainage holes.
hi is it better to root in moss or aeroponic cloner? ty
Aeroponics if you can.
Hey Pete....where abouts can we buy your cuttings, do you have a shop or link so I can purchas? :)
Hey Kura, I haven't set anything up yet, though I have bought the domain recently. I'll set something up soon :) Thanks for the interest!
I'm trying to get the courage to make the chop 😬
What does activated charcoal do?
Hey mate, it pulls the moisture out of the cut ends and stops infection too.
What’s crazy is as of today two leaf cuttings are going for about $120 here in Florida 😅
You can find one for 25-40$ in Sweden
What fertilizer are you using?
I've just got a hydro A & B solution - ORIGINAL A&B PROFESSORS NUTRIENT For Hydroponics Grow & Bloom Cycle.
where are you Pete vs plants hope all is well 🦁🦁🦁🐯🐯🐯🐯
At this rate you will get to 50 in no time! 👍
Hehe any bets on which month I'll get there in?
@@petevsplants7516 that should be a quick math! Did you say you have 18 already? So maybe March 2023?
Spring? Omg. In Texas we are in fall going to winter. Ugh
Hehe southern hemisphere baby :D
Me too! I'm in Pennsylvania!
PA here too!
I have concerns about the big companies doing a bunch of tissue culturing and ruining the market
What is in your soil ?
As in what's the mix? orchard bark, perlite, soil, worm castings, charcoal.
@@petevsplants7516 Thanks Pete 🤘
Sometimes I have a hard time telling between the albo and the Thai constellation
It's just practice mate :) but yeah they can be tricky sometimes.
1000 dollars 😲 you can buy one in the UK now for less that 100! Eek!
Yeah, depends on size. They're about $150 a node here in Aus now. During covid it was up to $450 a node :S
🥺 send me a plant it’s ery expensive here
Lol it's expensive here too
I have one for 950 that's 2xs bigger ,dm me !
